Foldable phones are often considered fragile, but HONOR wants to change that perception. After the HONOR Magic V3 was tested in a washing machine and the HONOR Magic V5 hung from a sofa, now it's the turn of the HONOR Magic V6 to prove something even more extraordinary. It was tested with an extreme demonstration of pulling a commercial airplane 150 meters. It sounds impossible, but that's proof that durability is not just a slogan.
This test is not just empty talk, but is conducted openly to give the public the opportunity to see for themselves the level of durability offered. At the same time, it answers user concerns about foldable phones such as the risk of falling, loose hinges, easily damaged screens or designs that are too thick. With the advent of the HONOR Magic V6, all those doubts have been erased.
Imagine that after pulling a plane, this phone still functions as usual without any signs of bending. Not stopping there, it was also used to pull a sports car 30 meters and still functioned smoothly. In fact, in another demonstration, the HONOR Magic V6 was able to support the full weight of an adult while performing a body pull. The results are the same, no noticeable damage and the screen still works well.
All these tests are not only proof of durability but also a symbol of confidence that foldable phones can be durable, practical and ready to become the main choice without compromise.
Strong Super Steel Hinge
Every foldable phone has a weak point and usually it is located in the hinge. HONOR is aware of this, so they developed the HONOR Magic V6 with the main secret called Super Steel Hinge. This hinge is made of durable steel with a strength of up to 2800 Mpa.
This figure is not just a number on paper. It means that the HONOR Magic V6 hinge is 75% stronger than the regular steel used in other foldable phones. To give you an idea, this strength is almost twice that of the high-strength steel used in the cabin of electric vehicles at around 1500 MPa. It is no wonder that it is recognized as one of the most reliable special steels and has been used commercially.
However, the strength of the material is not the only advantage of the HONOR Magic V6. HONOR also designed the hinge system more intelligently. The new design makes the mechanical support simpler and the display flatter every time you open it. The large-radius folding motion feels smoother, as if you’re opening a book, not just a phone. The durability of this hinge has been tested with 500,000 folds by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance).
If you calculate, that’s the equivalent of over 13 years of use assuming the phone is folded 100 times every day. The combination of strong materials and clever design makes the HONOR Magic V6 more than just a folding phone. It’s a symbol of confidence that folding technology can be durable.
Combination of Premium Materials
HONOR knows that the durability of a folding phone doesn’t just depend on the hinge. That’s why the HONOR Magic V6’s body is built with durable premium materials. Despite weighing just 219 grams, it still feels solid in the hand.
The thickness when folded is 8.75mm while when unfolded it’s only 4mm. Thin and light, but still strong because HONOR combines premium materials with artificial intelligence technology. This AI technology is not just a theory. It has been tested with millions of simulated drops in various conditions. Every time an impact occurs, the system evenly distributes the pressure throughout the phone's structure. This way, the risk of a cracked screen or a loose hinge is much lower.
The HONOR Magic V6 also uses aerospace-grade materials for its body structure. As a result, the phone is not only thinner and lighter, but also stronger than many traditional flagship phones. This thin but not fragile design is the result of a huge investment in material research and meticulous manufacturing processes. HONOR also uses AI simulation to ensure that every part of the HONOR Magic V6 is truly reliable.
Through this system, the device is able to simulate millions of real-world drop scenarios. Each impact is carefully analyzed, and the pressure path is optimized to spread across the screen, hinges, and internal structure. This way, the pressure is not concentrated at one critical point, thus reducing the risk of damage.
Rugged Screen
In addition to the sturdy body, the HONOR Magic V6's external display is protected with the HONOR Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield Screen. This special protective layer makes the screen more drop-resistant, scratch-resistant, and anti-glare. To prove it, HONOR tested it with a drill and the result was almost scratch-free.
The HONOR Magic V6’s internal screen uses HONOR Magic Diamond Screen with UTG flexible glass. Combined with a precise hinge, it can withstand daily bending without leaving permanent crease marks. Both the outer and inner screens are always clear and vivid, whether in sunlight or in the dark. The HONOR Magic V6 also comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, making it water and dust resistant to a high level. It is rare for a foldable device to have such a rating.
To add to the confidence of users, HONOR offers a convincing after-sales service with a 2-year worry-free quality guarantee, longer than the industry standard, as well as 1-year protection for the outer and inner screens in case of damage.
Coming to Malaysia
From extreme demonstrations such as pulling planes and cars, the HONOR Magic V6 is clearly not just an ordinary foldable phone. It is a foldable phone built to withstand real challenges. The HONOR Magic V6 also proves that foldable phones can be thin, light, and strong. With the use of premium materials, AI technology support, a durable screen, and IP68 and IP69 ratings, it sets a new standard in the world of foldable phones. Stay tuned for the official launch of the HONOR Magic V6 in Malaysia in June.
